Late afternoon in Sahara, a photo from Illizi, Inland

Photographer's Note

It was our first day in the Tadrart, for many of us, our first time in Sahara.

As the hours were passing by and the sun setting down, we were impatient to live our first night in the desert.

Emmanuelle,
Superbe photo, couleurs, lumière et contrastes super.
La présence des 4X4 donne vraiment la dimension de ce magnifique endroit.

Hallo. It looks like you are looking down at the jeeps. Perhaps an alternative shot, would be to 'move' them a little up and to the right so that they are not so tight to the corner. Goggle 'the golden mean' or 'the golden ratio'. Ideally, the shadows would be a little less deep. Maybe a shot 25 mins. earlier would give more colour. Good luck. B.

Bonsoir Emmanuelle,
Quel paysage ! C'est assez marrant car on a l'impression que les voitures vont se faire emporter par une vague de... sable !
Amicalement,
Seb

Bonjour Manu (je peux t'appeler Manu?),
Moi, j'aime bien cette image avec ces différentes lignes horizontales et le jeu d'ombres et de lumières. Les 4x4 sont bien placés, au soleil et donnent l'échelle des lieux: ils semblent bien petits face au décor derrière eux! J'imagine tout à fait ce que tu as pu ressentir devant un tel paysage pour ta première soirée dans le désert.
Je te souhaite de bonnes fêtes de Pâques.
Brigitte

Great shot Emmie!

Your composition of the vehicles in the lower left hand corner is excellent. Perfect exposure, managing to capture detail in the shadows, yet not have the highlights overblown.

Well done,
- Dan

Beautiful combination of light n shades. The cars in the forefront increase the 3D of your snap. Thanks for sharing a nice view.
